Run-down places

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rattraps

(Other definitions for rattraps that I've seen before include "Hopeless situations or run-down buildings- for rodents" , "Run-down, dangerous buildings - for rodents?" , "Snares for rodents or dangerous buildings" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
